Plan routes that minimise fuel consumption, by optimising cruising speeds. Avoid sensitive marine habitats and conservation areas when sailing.
Choose ports and anchorages that support eco-friendly practices and local conservation efforts.
Use biodegradable and non-toxic cleaning products to minimise harm to marine life. Ensure non-toxic chemicals are used both for interior and exterior cleaning. Alcohol, bleach and peroxide based cleaning agents are some of the main ones to avoid.
Implement onboard water filtration systems to reduce the need for chemicals for purification.
Opt for sustainable materials such as bamboo, recycled fabrics, and low-impact paints and varnishes. Similarly, materials such as teak alternatives or recycled plastic are perfect for sustainable decking or other fixtures.
Choose furnishings and decor made from reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood and natural fibres.
Install energy-efficient lighting and appliances, including LED bulbs and energy-star rated equipment.
Integrate solar panels or wind turbines to harness renewable energy sources for onboard use.
Source provisions and supplies from local, sustainable vendors to reduce carbon emissions from transportation.
Partner with suppliers committed to ethical practices and environmental stewardship.
Implement a comprehensive recycling program onboard for plastics, glass, and other recyclable materials.
Minimise single-use plastics and opt for reusable alternatives for dining and personal care items.
Install water-saving devices such as low-flow faucets and showers to reduce freshwater consumption.
Utilise onboard water treatment and filtration systems to recycle and re-use grey water responsibly.
